Hi all,
One of the nice things about working from home is that
there's no one to look over your shoulder when birds
come calling.
Here in Wavell Heights (a particularly suburban corner
of Brisbane's north side), there's usually not too
much of special interest. But now the grevilleas and
callistemons are flowering and this morning, the birds
are jumping.
In five minutes watching from my balcony, the
following were seen:
Scarlet Honeyeater 4 (calling everywhere as I write)
Noisy Friarbird 2
Olive-backed Oriole 1
Figbird 6
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike 1
Silvereye 10
Rainbow Lorikeet 6
Plus one large Bluetongue moving through the garden.
Nothing spectacular to be sure (though Scarlet H's are
always a pleasure), but a nice reminder that exciting
though seabirds, SIPOs and Pintails may be, you can
watch birds anywhere - and not get bored.
Cheers
AS
